Jessica Simpson is preparing to tell the world about her pregnancy?

fp_8003555_simpson_jessica_roq_05_07

Yesterday, I was mad that we didn’t have these photos of Jessica Simpson looking severely knocked up, but it’s all good! We have these new photos of Jessica and her mom Tina in LA (What’s up with Tina? She looks different.). As I’ve been saying now for two weeks, Jessica totally looks knocked up, and if it turns out that she is (hint: she is), that means that I will have successfully called two major pregnancies in a row – Jennifer Garner and Jessica’s. In addition to a blind item that indicates some “celebrity” is about to make a big pregnancy announcement, Radar reports that Jessica is already telling friends and family:

Jessica Simpson is preparing to announce to the world that she is pregnant, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

After weeks of is-she-or-isn’t-she speculation, a source close to Jessica’s 32-year-old and fiancé Eric Johnson revealed: “It’s still early in the pregnancy, and Jessica has decided to wait before sharing her happiness with her fans. But she has begun telling family and friends the exciting news.”

Johnson’s father, Stephen, was coy when contacted about the pregnancy.

“I haven’t heard anything,” Stephen said. “Is she pregnant? I better give them a call if she is!”

Simpson, the ex-wife of singer Nick Lachey, is expected to go public with the news in a magazine exclusive.

Simpson was also recently photographed wearing a leopard print cover-up while in Mexico, prompting various media outlets to speculate that she was hiding a baby bump.

Simpson also recently celebrated Johnson’s 32nd birthday, but made it clear that she was not participating in the champagne toast; she even sent back her glass of bubbly!

As a result, Simpson is in no rush to say ‘I Do’ to the former NFL footballer, RadarOnline.com has learned.

“I wish it would happen!” Stephen said. “It is just a matter of logistics. They have had so much to do.”

I’ll say it again: the biggest signal that Jessica is knocked up is her lack of drinking. Jessica loves her liquor, so if she’s abstaining, it’s because of a baby and not because she’s trying to lose weight. Even when she diets, she still drinks. And she always eats for two, so don’t even start that. Oh, and another signal could be her roots? Although her hair issues might be a signal that Ken Paves is no longer her BFF.

So, here’s my question: do you think Jessica is going to do the pregnancy announcement in a major weekly? Do you think she’ll do the “exclusive” People Magazine cover: “Jessica Simpson: I’m pregnant!”? Or do you think she’ll make the announcement more low-key?

    well we see now where Jessica’s legs come from! With Tina wearing those shoes, their legs are identical! (I’m not trash talking by any means, I’m just saying they look exactly the same!)

  2. Dani D says:

    Dear Tina, U r too old for daisy dukes & those clunky sandals u have on. Also, please stay away from plastic surgeons, they don’t seem to improve your appearance. Just say No!………Jessica is totally preggers

  3. brin says:

    Low key? No way. It feels like she’s been pregnant for years, so it seems like old news.

  4. Erinn says:

    Jessica dresses so dumpy all the time… the girl needs someone to lay her clothes out for her every morning or something.

    If she’s pregnant she can dress as comfy as she wants without looking so dumpy… she has the money to spend on designer maternity clothes, but she just keeps looking worse.

  5. gee says:

    Her mom is adorable. I’ve never seen her before, only her creepy dad.

  6. Lizzy says:

    Over/under on Jessica’s weight gain 75pds. I will take over.

  7. Nessa says:

    Definitely preggers. And, less is not more when it comes to Jessica… she’ll go all out with the announcement.

  8. i.want.shoes says:

    Definitely not low-key announcement. This is the only thing keeping her somewhat relevant.

    But seriously, she just looks fatter to me. If she is pregnant and looks this bloated now, I can’t imagine what she’ll look like at 9 months

  9. mel says:

    Since Nick n Vanessa’s wedding overshowed Jessica’s I guest she figured she would beat them in getting pregnant.

  10. S says:

    I think Ken Paves stopped being her bff around the time Eric Johnson appeared on the scene…I think he said he was sick of her finding these loser guys and then him having to pick up the pieces.

  11. the original bellaluna says:

    She and Paves haven’t been BFF’s for some time now.

    And no: she’ll blab it to the world.

  12. atlantapug says:

    This poor thing is gonna be HUGE at 9months.

  13. Sloane Wyatt says:

    If she is pregnant, I sincerely hope she does not marry unemployed baby daddy Eric. Jessica strikes me as maternal, and maybe she’s ready to grow out of needing a guy to the point of making horrible choices in men just to have someone, anyone, in her life.

  14. Dawn says:

    Who cares really? So if she is preggo, she is preggo without a husband and if she if she is not, well then she just put on some weight. At the end of the day I really don’t think Nick will care one way or another if she “beats” him to child birth. I believe he is an adult although I bet he wishes her well, he has moved on.

  15. Blue says:

    I really hope she just used Eric for his sperm. This guy was in the NFL and has an Ivy league education. Yet he’s doing nothing. I dunno how anyone can be okay sponging off of someone else. Get a job you bum!
    I think Jessica at some point decided she wanted a child but Eric is a bum so she held off on the wedding. There’s no reason why she couldn’t have gotten married already except she doesn’t want to but she doesn’t want to look “bad” by getting knocked up by some guy she’s been dating. At least now he’d her fiancé but I don’t think they will marry

  16. becky says:

    how did two nice looking people such as her parents make an Ashlee Simpson? oh yeah, rumer williams. oh well

  17. Dibba says:

    Interesting, I’ve never seen this mother who whores out her children before.

  18. t says:

    sexual napalm = rating John Mayer bestows on sex partners willing to be on the receiving end of his rumored fetish with human waste

  19. Emma says:

    I think her mom’s giddy face says it all, like “we’re so excited, we can hardly contain ourselves.” lol ..oh, and the way she’s holding her wrist. Like you pointed out, not like she’s been drinking. So, for what other reason would she need help walking except for an injury or pregnancy? **overprotective, ecstatic grandmother-to-be**

    P.S. Totally thought for a sec this was Lynn Spears. Haha..that wouldnt make much sense, but they do kinda look alike.

  20. S says:

    @Emma: just my thoughts exactly 🙂

  21. LeeLoo says:

    I can see Jess being the needy type who doesn’t want Eric to work. She’d rather have him around all the time. Either way, I’m not going to judge Jess. I’ve never been a fan of her music but I think she means well. If she’s happy then who are we to judge, if she isn’t happy with Eric then I hope she dumps the SOB baby or no baby.

    BTW Personally, I think there is no love lost between Jess and Ken. I think she got fed up with Ken selling her out to the press as much as he got sick of picking up the pieces.

  22. The only issue I have is that her dad’s name is JOE not Stephen. RIGHT? Papa JOE Simpson. Radar said his name was STEPHEN. ummm

  23. flutters says:

    The only thing that had me thinking People doesn’t have the exclusive is they had a half page story about the pregnancy rumors in last week’s issue with a question mark in the headline. They don’t usually hint at exclusive cover stories that way, do they?

    I don’t think it’ll be a low key announcement but rather something that’s released to all outlets at the same time and they’ll allow all of them to feature Jessica’s announcement on the cover either as the main story or one of the features.

  24. Amy says:

    @BusyBeeBlogger — it says that Eric Johnson’s father’s name is Stephen, not Jessica’s father. 🙂

  25. Isa says:

    Totally see where she gets her legs from now.

  26. kiki says:

    The only question for me is which magazine gets the exclusive — I’ll go with Us mag.

    I’m sure she’ll blow up w/ the pregnancy — I call over 75lbs, and she’ll stay large indefinitely. No reason to be skinny anymore, which is always a challenge for her — she’ll have her baby, her kept man, fashion lines rolling along, no singing career to speak of so the skinny pressure is totally off.

    And lol at the double standard re: her guy (I’m guilty too). No one bats an eye if a chick with no discernible job hooks up with a rich celeb. Why is the opposite so horrible (rhetorical)?

  27. Amanda says:

    What is Jessica doing lately? The only thing I have really heard is about her dating life. Does she still sing? Or what?

  28. Christine says:

    Compare Carole Middleton to Tina. When I grow up, I want to be like Carole. And she’s totally preggo. I wish her well.

  29. annie says:

    Why did she go thru the Xray security scan at the airport if she is pregnant? Big no no

  30. fwiw says:

    She’ll do the People cover for sure. The Simpsons never do things low key. She’ll marry before the baby is born but I feel bad for her because I don’t think Eric is a catch at all.

  31. Moneypenny says:

    @Annie, the normal body scanner is not an X-Ray. It is fine to go through when pregnant. The new body scanner is more questionable, but isn’t supposed to deliver as much radiation as flying does. A lot of us pregnant people fly a lot and go through the machines.

    Geez, “it’s still early in the pregnancy” but she’s already pretty big. I’m 4 months and the same size as before–if this is early for her, she’s going to be a big lady. Good luck to them though.

  32. Orange Cone says:

    @Franny- I thought the same dang thing! hahaha

    her mom is guiding her/helping her as if she is pregnant so yeah.

    like I said before, she will not recover from pregnancy weight!

  33. LeeLoo says:

    I have to agree that she is going to explode weight-wise after having the baby. Not many women get back their size 4 figure after having a baby and she will seem more like an everyday woman and be able to use it to her advantage with the press.

  34. JaneWonderfalls says:

    I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks this but JS’s mom always reminded me of Britney Spear’s mom. The favor eachother to me.

  35. only1shmoo says:

    God, this woman really can’t assemble a flattering outfit to save her life : P

  36. mimi says:

    So, how is the former preacher going to celebrate his daughter’s out of wedlock pregnancy?? Didn’t Ashely get knocked up before marriage too? Way to go Tina and Joe. Both daughters divorced before 30. And I think part of Jessica’s problems are due to smothering,controlling parents. Just look at the body language of Mom and Jessica in the first picture. Jessica is a 31 year old woman and she’s being handled like a kid. ugh.

  37. GrnMtGirl says:

    Why do people assume that Eric is sponging off of Jessica? Isn’t it possible that he saved the money that he made as a football player and is living off of that? Am I missing something?

  38. atlantapug says:

    @GrnMtGirl.

    Jessica Simpson’s net worth = $100million and up

    Eric Johnson’s last recorded NFL contract = $1.1million

    And he’s retired, which means he gets nothing now since NFL pension won’t kick in until age 55.

  39. Tiffany says:

    Here is how it is going to play out:
    There will be a wedding and marriage on 11/11/11 (oh for the love of….).
    There will be photos, of course, I think Us Weekly is going to be the only on that meets their bid for exclusive photos or interview (People knows that they won’t sell and if they do run it, then it will be featured on the sidebar). Then all of the “exclusive” covers along with the Baby issue might make People at a low ball figure because they will want it that much.
    Ah, but it is just a theory. No way this kid os arriving out out wedlock, because they are ‘Christians’.

  40. Nikki Girl says:

    Still not convinced she’s pregnant. She’s looked fat for what, two years now? Has she been pregnant for two years?

  41. Annie_Grey says:

    Jessica’s mom’s body language may be telling.

  42. It sucks to see that she is pregnant with a guy that is less attractive than her ex husband, when she couldn’t put her career, her immaturity, her insecurities, and her dad aside to be a wife and mother to her ex. I have to admit, it still bugs me to this day.
